In a dream, I noticed a mirror. When I looked in it, everything looked normal. Why is this? I thought that in dreams the mirrors looked messed up. Has anyone ever had this happen to them before? I have only heard of mirrors looking weird in dreams, not normal.
If anyone wants to read the whole dream, it's right here in my DJ: President - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource
Thanks
Mirrors in dreams will not always be distorted. You can't always count on that being the case.
It's the same with hands. Sometimes they are distorted out of recognition, sometimes they look just like they should. I looked in the mirror once and all I had was very red eye whites.
Oh... Like I said above, I've only heard of mirrors distorting images and showing frightening things.Quote:

My reflection in a mirror has never been distorted or frightening, although sometimes my hair may have been longer or something minor like that.
Yeah, that's what happened when I looked in it. I had longer hair.Quote:

I have never noticed anything wrong with mirrors myself... heck, they are so accurate I even test hairstyles within the dream to see what haircut I would like next.
Most of the time when I look in a mirror in a dream (and they show up a lot in my dreams) there is something strange or creepy about it. Sometimes, though, the reflection seems perfectly normal.
Anything can happen in dreams. Even normal stuff.
Ironically when I looked into a mirror/at my hands during past dreams I didn't see any difference.
Your post reminded me of a creepy, non-lucid dream I had a few months back.Quote:

Wow, thats actually not a bad idea :P Might try that some time when I'm lucid.Quote:
